A new exhibition at the African American Museum-Dallas highlights Black artists from across the US, selected from hundreds of entries for the Carroll Harris Simms National Black Art Competition and Exhibition. The multi-generational exhibition connects the experiences of older and younger artists, exploring themes of Black identity and resilience. Dr. Teresa L. Jackson won 'Best in Show' with her photograph 'Unbothered', depicting a young Black boy at peace in a Dallas park. The art show, originating in 1976, aims to promote Black art and provide a platform for Black artists.
A new exhibit at the African American Museum-Dallas features Black artists from across the country who were selected among hundreds of entries for the Carroll Harris Simms National Black Art Competition and Exhibition.
"The exhibition is multi-generational," Curator Lakeem Wilson said."One of the eldest artists is 92-years-old!""It kinda ties the connection between what the elder artists are speaking about, and what the younger artists are concerned about or vocalizing through their art and mediums," Wilson said.
Dr. Teresa L. Jackson won 'Best in Show' with her photograph titled 'Unbothered', which shows a young Black boy lying down in the fountain at Klyde Warren Park. "With Black boys and Black men, we know that there are all these different dangers and things that we face as Black people,' Jackson said."But in that moment, he was unbothered. He was at an age where it appears that he hasn't figured out that he's a potential threat, or that he's potentially in danger. So that piece really speaks to me, and the image there seems to really convey that in this moment, I'm safe.
